RENO, Nev.- Despite a franchise-record 35-point performance by Reno's Desmon Farmer, the Los Angeles D-Fenders rallied in the second overtime period to knock-off the Bighorns, 117-11, Saturday night in the Reno Events Center.

The Bighorns (1-3) charged back in the second-half and erased an eight-point halftime deficit to force overtime. In the first extra period, Reno had the final possession, yet failed to convert, forcing a second extra period. In double overtime, the D-Fenders (3-2) outscored the Bighorns 8-2 to roll to the victory.

Michael Fey scored 20 points off the bench for Los Angeles, leading six D-Fenders in double figures. Deron Washington chipped in 18, and Diamon Simpson recorded a double-double with 17 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.

Farmer's 35-point effort marked the highest individual single-game scoring performance in Bighorns history. Rod Benson and Marcus Hubbard each pulled down 10 boards, while Doug Thomas netted 15 points off the bench for Reno.

Next up for the Bighorns is a Dec. 11 trip to Utah to face-off with the Flash. Tip-time from the McKay Event Center is set for 6 p.m. PST.

Reno returns home on Sunday, Dec. 13 to meet the Bakersfield Jam. Tickets are on-sale now at www.RenoBighorns.com, the Reno Events Center Box Office, Silver Legacy Box Office, or by visiting any Northern Nevada Ticketmaster location or Web site.
